Team Status Report for 3/28

The most significant risk that could jeopardize the success of the project would be frying the LED chip or the power supply. Another risk would be not getting the controller to communicate properly with the light. To manage these risks, we have an extra LED chip and have been testing our equipment before we connect it to our power supply. In addition, to prevent the issue of the controller not communicating, we have a backup plan of wiring the controls directly to the light. However, it would cause us to not fulfill the use case requirement of professional compatibility from the DMX side. So far, changes have not been necessary to the design of the system since last week. Our schedule has changed a bit where the integration and fabrication are happening in parallel. This is because we realized that in order to integrate some components, other parts need to be fabricated first.
